| Reverse description | The reverse bears a detailed relief depiction of York Minster's west front, showing the twin Gothic towers with their pinnacles and elaborate tracery, the ornate central portal, and what appears to be scaffolding on an adjoining structure to the right, suggesting the piece may commemorate a restoration period. The polished field provides a contrasting background to the finely struck architectural rendering. |
